David Stephenson Of Heaven and Earth

David Stephenson’s photographs are about very big ideas: the endless tracts of the Antarctic icecap; the vastness of the starry heavens; the spiritual grandeur of the great domes of European sacred buildings; and the luminous complexity of the modern metropolis. While they are pleasing to look at, his images go far beyond the usual bounds of what we think of as beauty. They address a state of mind that, in the language of Western aesthetic ideas, is called the sublime: both spectacular and unnerving.

David Stephenson explores the making of his work and the ideas behind it at Talking Pictures.
